"How could you say something like that...... Is this your first adventure, friend? ”

“…… The city may have a lot of treasures, and I don't mean to keep it to myself, but ...... Not now, against the wind, Your Excellency. ”

"Not now? Hah, is it up to you to say this? ”

"It's not me who has the final say, it's my sword that has the final say."

In the sound of a strong wind blowing through the air, the two players, one high and one low, slowly approached in their respective conversations, and finally floated slowly and gradually with the headwind, and came to the air directly above the square. Duan Qing's lowered eyelids, who were still in a sitting position, gradually rose to the same level as the other party rose, and the original dead light in his eyes also took on a slightly curious look, he looked at the emerald green magic energy that was faintly visible around the other party, and the conversation that had already blurted out was also interrupted by this detail that he had temporarily noticed: "...... Wind magic? “

"Looks like you've been in Vizad for a few days, boy."

“…… Sunset Smoke has really taught me some good tricks. The headwind floating in the sky shook his head vigorously: "But this favor is nothing compared to what they took from me. ”

“…… What to take? ”

"You know this better than I do, bastard." Headwind leisurely raised a finger pointing at the other party: "None of the magicians who joined the Vizad joined voluntarily, they were all more or less threatened by that ghostly scheme, and the wind was on the verge of decomposition and collapse at that time, so they made a condition to use my joining to guarantee the placement of those old brothers in the guild......"

"Until now, I have to admire the level of that guy's timing." Speaking of this, he sighed deeply: "There are many contradictions within the guild, and I have exhausted all my energy to reconcile the contradictions between those old acquaintances, if the power of Vizad can help us get out of the quagmire of Etta County, and at the same time provide me with a better environment to prepare for the competition...... There is no better outcome than such an arrangement. ”

"Sounds like a lot of money." Duan Qing, who was sitting above, showed a puzzled expression: "But I don't know the content of the transaction between you, what does this have to do with me?" ”

"When the Battle of Windflower Town was defeated and the remnants of the Magic Empire regained the upper hand, everything got out of hand." As if he had finally mentioned the origin of his regret, he suddenly raised his voice against the wind: "I have become a real traitor!" He became a perfidious bastard who abandoned his brothers and guilds for the sake of personal development! How did Vizad promise me? You guys...... How did you Fool Adventure Troupe promise me? ”

"Only the little girls know about it, what does it have to do with me." Duan Qing, who leaned forward slightly, stretched out his hand and pressed his brow: "And...... You don't really listen to those rumors and blame us entirely for the defeat of the battle, do you? ”

"Otherwise, who is to blame? Snow Spirit Phantom Ice? ”

“…… I'm sorry. ”

"Sorry...... Ha, people like you would say I'm sorry. ”

The ice blue magic ball floating on his wrist gradually brightened as the surrounding magic energy increased, and the anger on the face of the headwind disappeared into the ice wind flying in the sky with his low expression: "If you really have a trace of guilt in your heart......"

"Just get me out of that place!"

Boom –

The piercing rolling sound swept across the sky with an ice-colored storm visible to the naked eye, and with countless ice cubes churning in it, it flew towards the top of the hall where Duan Qing was, and the impact between the wind blade and the ice blade then suddenly dispersed in front of Duan Qing, blooming like a wild ice flower towards the high air full of cold winds. The clanging sound of the crisp impact then resounded around the top of the hall along with Duan Qing's continuous waving of the long sword in his hand, accompanied by the scene of the ice cubes that were shot out again and again, and the ice fragments that had been blocked into the air were then stabbed down again and again as if they had been pulled by some strange kind of strange traction, and stabbed down diagonally towards Duan Qing's motionless position with a leisurely mind against the wind: "Water and Wind Dual Method......

"Tianshan Ice Lotus!"

The ice crystals wrapped in the magical energy of the wind system then continued to stagger around Duan Qing's location under the leisurely guidance of the headwind, like a blooming ice lotus, and the sword-like ice crystals then became smaller and smaller in the continuous impact, and finally turned into fine ice needles and broke through the blood-colored whirlwind that the long sword danced in. Maintaining the posture of sitting cross-legged in place, Duan Qing, who had been as motionless as an old monk in a steady position, kept waving his long sword to parry, but he never stopped, until the fine impact sound left countless small scratches on his body, and he gradually showed a smile of praise and mockery: "Ice lotus on the Tianshan Mountain...... Oh, the recruit is like its name, and the person is also like its name. ”

“…… You've blocked them all? ”

"This sword has the effect of disarming magic, although it is a chance, but you attacked it too often just now."

Standing the half-human-tall blood-colored long sword on his chest, Duan Qing, who had scattered the ice mist around him, turned to the surface of the long sword: "Thank you for the experimental data, under such a high frequency of collisions, the trigger chance of the 'Demon Breaking Rune' is about 45%, if you count the spiritual value that I have saved up nearly twenty points now......"

"It's a pity." He shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression: "Those ice spikes of yours are all gone when you fight." ”

“…… Even so, your physical strength is limited. Staring at Duan Qing's headwind, he leisurely raised the magic ball in his hand again: "And my 'Ice Pupil' gives me the effect of absorbing magic power, as long as my ice attack can hit you, my physical strength and magic power are unlimited!" ”

"You're going to fail!" He raised his magic orb aloft, and the brighter and brighter ice blue magic light illuminated his face more and more: "Pay the price for your mistakes and retire from the stage of history completely!" You self-righteous one-"

Burst.

The slight sound of the blade entering the body then appeared in the air not far from Duan Qing, and at the same time, there was also a stunned expression on his face when he was suddenly interrupted by the headwind, and he lowered his head, and then saw a small blood hole in his abdomen, and then fell towards the square below with a body like a broken leather: "How, how could it be ......?"

"I'm not going to be responsible for your alleged mistakes, and I'm not going to be beaten all the time." A slight sigh from Duan Qing above then came from his ears: "And...... The magic shield on your body doesn't seem to have any defensive effect on your own ice cubes, so be careful in the future. ”

Thump!

A loud crash then appeared in the ruins of the houses not far from the square, carrying all kinds of other crumbling ruin masonry towards the hollow where the wind fell to the ground, and a slow footstep then appeared on the side of the room where the life and death of the wind were uncertain, and the figure belonging to a certain fighter player gradually appeared. With his hands behind his back, he looked inside the ruins that were still exuding dust, and finally fixed his gaze on the body that was still not dead against the wind, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally gave up his intention to get closer and observe, and continued to move slowly along the front of the street: "A beautiful and fatal blow...... When will you throw a throwing knife like this? ”

“…… Yo, hello. ”

What answered him was Duan Qing's eyes that opened again, and his slightly surprised tone: "The second one is actually you...... Again, this was beyond my expectations. ”

"It's true that there aren't many people in our rivers and lakes who study magic, but we are all first-class martial arts experts." Pointing behind him, Broken Wind Thunder, who was holding his hands behind his back, turned sideways and gestured behind him: "For example...... Wudang's light skills such as Tiyun Vertical can easily send us up. ”

“…… It's really unscrupulous to use. Duan Qing's face became a little gloomy again: "Aren't you afraid that the alliance will find you trouble?" ”

"The Alliance is going to come to you right now." Broken Wind Thunder shook his head indifferently: "You actually released everyone's pigeons...... Aren't you afraid of being banned again? ”

"I've been permanently banned from the league, and the previous games were actually earned." Duan Qing let out a meaningful chuckle: "It's the best time to jump out now, otherwise if you really win the championship...... You guys really don't have a place to put their old faces. ”

“…… Hum. So this time it was the turn of Broken Wind Thunder's face gradually sank: "I thought that those little brothers who bullied you that day, you would become a little stronger, but you really gave up the game, and you hid in this kind of place where no one can go......"

"You can't tell the winner in the game, but it's okay to see the real chapter in the game." Duan Qing supported one of the arms that dragged his right cheek: "What's more...... Most of the people who can fight me above the top of this kilometer-high cloud are all the best players in the virtual world, aren't they? ”

“…… Don't think how safe this place is right now. ”

After straightening his expression again, Broken Wind Thunder turned to point in the direction he had come: "Since the headwind was able to get here before me, it means that they must have discovered a way to teleport directly to this place, and as the altitude drops, there will definitely be more and more people like me who can climb this city through physical means......"

“…… What did you say? In the fall? ”

"The height of the castle in the sky is decreasing...... Can't you notice that? ”

Looking at Duan Qing's serious face above, Broken Wind Thunder pulled the corners of his mouth: "It should be the effect caused by the pillar of light before, Sky City is gradually descending towards the sky above Zaraha City, and the ordinary people below think that the end of the world is coming, and now they are running around the streets." ”

“…… That's right. Duan Qing, whose pupils were gradually shrinking, muttered to himself: "Since it is a launch frame, most of them have also set up a positioning and recovery function...... Damn, I should let Kim study it for a while......"

“…… I said, "It's almost time to get down." ”

Looking at the other party's action of bowing his head and muttering to himself, Breaking Wind Thunder with a helpless face then twisted his fist: "Anyway, there is no one else here, for you and me...... That's the best heads-up stage, right? ”

“……”

Or ...... You want me to go up to you? ”

Stretching out his head to look at the half-hidden gate below the silent Duan Qing, Broken Wind and Thunder grinned and showed a smug smile: "Although I don't have much interest in what kind of secrets and treasures are buried here, if you are willing to let me visit first, I will not refuse......

"No, I refuse." A faint sword qi then slashed in front of the figure that Breaking Wind Thunder had just wanted to move forward, and at the same time, Duan Qing's low warning sounded again: "I also said this sentence to that headwind leisurely before—not now." ”

“…… Not now? ”

Withdrawing his defensive fist indifferently, Broken Wind Thunder raised his eyebrows and asked lowly, "What, are you still planning some strange tricks inside?" ”

“…… Nothing more trickery. Still sitting cross-legged above, Duan Qing replied remotely: "I just don't want to leave any regrets in my future memories, that's all." ”

"Regret...... Hmph, you still have the face to say such things. Broken Wind Thunder's eyes became gloomy again: "If you don't want to leave any regrets...... Why did you retire in the first place? ”

“……”

"Speaking of which...... I suddenly heard some strange rumors today. ”

There was a slight pause in his voice, and Broken Wind Thunder pressed one of his fist-clad hands to his chin: "At first, I didn't pay much attention to it because I wasn't in a good mood, but now that I think about it, those rumors seem to mention the death of people in virtual real games......"

"I've heard similar rumors before, but I've always been the one who thinks they're farting." He shook his head: "But this time the rumor mentions not now, but three years ago...... Hey. ”

"Do you know something?" He looked up at Duan Qing above, the face that became unrecognizable because of the sunlight on his back: "Is it ...... anything to do with your retirement?"

Boom –

A loud roar then interrupted his inquiry, and with a slow but conspicuous sword qi flew towards the ground where the fighter was, the swift reaction of the Wind Breaking Thunder then smashed the sword qi away with an uppercut with a fist, and at the same time incorporated the voice belonging to Duan Qing into his sensitive hearing after he suddenly increased his battle intent.

"I don't know."
